WHY CHOOSE MEDIATION?
-
Complete confidentiality.
-
Costs less than traditional court proceedings.
-
Saves time and is more efficient than traditional court proceedings. The involved parties control the outcome, not a judge.
-
Protects relationships by providing a cooperative, non-adversarial setting for discussion. Parties create their own agreements, which leads to higher compliance.
